Dansk Tennis Forbund (DTF)

The tennis federation in Denmark · Danish Tennis Federation

DTF is Denmark's national governing body for tennis and also runs padel and pickleball (including a Danish pickleball national team and a Pickleball Tour). It supports member clubs with facilities, tournament hosting, recruitment/retention and other club offers, and runs a player rankings system (partly via Tournament Software) and a licence/club-transfer process for players. Founded in 1920; club membership peaked at just over 118,000 in 1990 and has fluctuated since, with DTF's own count dipping again in 2025 after eight straight years of growth.
